pizzica.me - APS and TUO - Organized Urban Theaters (COBAS entertainment workers) are pleased and thrilled to invite all enthusiasts of Southern Italian Folk Music to an unmissable event: BARI - December 11, 2025 at 7:00 PM at Cobas Teatro di Quartiere headquarters on via Garruba 176 - Alan Lomax, An American in the Valley of Trulli - presentation and meeting with the author Massimiliano Morabito.

Finally, after years and years of research, Massimiliano publishes his research work in which he returns to the local community the musical treasure of local traditions collected by Alan Lomax during his visit to the Itria Valley in 1954.

"There were several stops in Puglia, and on August 18, 1954, Lomax and Carpitella arrived in the Itria Valley. With a Magnecord Pt-6 tape recorder and a Leica IIIf camera, Lomax captured on tape the voices and stories of the men and women of that small rural community and immortalized on film faces, gestures, and the shared joy of singing."

Free Entry: a small gift to thank the people who have supported the activities of the pizzica.me - APS volunteer association in recent years.

Massimiliano Morabito, originally from Cisternino, is an accordionist and ethnomusicologist among the leading interpreters and researchers of traditional Puglian music. Since the early 2000s, he has been dedicated to the study of tarantellas, pizzicas, and popular repertoires, complementing his concert activities with deep field research, gathering thousands of recordings and testimonies from local singers and musicians. Author of recordings and historical documentation projects, since 2009 he has been collaborating with Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, bringing Southern Italian music to national and international stages. Today, he is considered a key figure in the appreciation and transmission of the Salento-Murge musical tradition.

We look forward to seeing many of you there.
